I'm just curious as to if any of you have ever won any contests? If so what were the rules and what was your prize? The last prize i remember winning was a few books, in a writing contest from 4th grade. And i'm 21 right now
 I actually know a guy personally in my school that went on the price is right last thanksgiving break and not only won the first game prize (a car) and not only won the showcase at the end BUT he won BOTH showcases!! can you believe that?? why couldn't that have been me

i really don't see what's so exciting about california but of course if i got a free trip to those places it wouldn't be so bad. I go to california all the time, i'm going there next week in fact, it never excites me:P but yea, if i could go to hollywood and do some cool shows and stuff for FREE it would make me happy, so how did you win the contest?

The best thing i've won is a smartie bike. This was when i was little i entered into one of their competitions and i won! Pretty damn cool i thought then.
I use to think that they were all fixed but because i won.... obviously not. Has anyone else ever won anything bigger? I know a friend who won the lottery, thats got to be the daddy of all competitions. I think that big companys should just send out free stuff to the poor people and just do it out of niceness. They'd get miles more publicity that way then just doing silly little competitions. What do you think? |

i actually got into a huge phase of doing a bunch of contests. i was in this phase for about 2 months. the best thing i won was a tonka truck. i thought it was pretty cool cause it looked so cool in the picture. but when my little brother got it, it was TINY. like a micro machine. i got jipped. especially since i had to pay shippin on it.

Well, This answer may be a bit stupid. But My site is my contest.
And I have managed to win trust and support of soo many people.  In real life contests, All I remember is winning 1st prize each year (in my area:p) for art and drawing ( especially in pencil Shading ). I have won 2nd prize in best Handwriting 0_0 ( state level ) 2nd prize in C/C++ Programming at university level. |

Well, this was not really a contest but anyway...
I was on some stupid bussiness conference, representing my company... So, at the end of conference they pulled out my name from box full of name tags... And the grand prize was Apple iPod! goddamn I was happy! That's everything I've won so far...
